BACKGROUND The incidence of endoprosthesis failure has been well studied, but few studies have described the clinical characteristics of deep infection in tumor prostheses. This study aimed to analyze the characteristics of deep infection in tumor endoprostheses around the knee. METHODS We analyzed clinical data of 57 patients with deep infections involving tumor endoprostheses around the kne...

screw-retained implant restorations have an advantage of predictable retention as well as retrievability, and obviate the risk of excessive sub-gingival cement commonly associated with cement retained implant restorations. screw-retained restorations generally have screw access holes, which can compromise esthetics and weaken the porcelain around the holes. the purpose of this study is to descr...

Polymorphous Low-Grade Adenocarcinoma is a rare, malignant salivary gland tumor, which is found almost exclusively in minor salivary glands. It is more frequent in the age range from 30 to 70, with a clear female predilection in a 2:1 ratio. It is usually located in the hard or soft palate, although it may be found in the rest of the oral cavity too. It is rare in major salivary glands. In gene...

Conventional maxillary prostheses were fabricated for more than 200 cases of postoperative maxillary defect. The maxillary prosthetics could be combined at any time in the course of primary tumor treatment by taking care to start early, fabricating quickly and lightening the prosthesis weight. Of these 200 cases, 104 who had visited during the one year period of 1992, were sent questionnaires f...

The present clinical case history report describes an interdisciplinary treatment protocol that combines maxillary tumor resection with immediate reconstruction to achieve functional rehabilitation. A fibula flap that received four dental implants and a split-thickness graft epithelial layer was prefabricated for a 31-year-old man. The flap was designed so that it could be adapted to fit in dif...

Simultaneous tumor excision and...

Background: External beam radiation therapy is often administered to patients implanted with silicone gel breast prosthesis. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of silicone gel breast prosthesis on photon dose distributions. In the event of recurrence, the oncologist may be forced to irradiate through the prosthetic device. To quantify the dose enhancement or reduction below ...
